Testimonial
Dawn has been my health coach for over two year, and I absolutely love her. She is living proof that people can change. She is encouraging, smart, resourceful, and so very helpful. She is kind and not judgmental. She meets you where you are and helps you to improve and meet your goals with strategies, wisdom and resources that you want to pursue. She helps you set goals and holds you accountable (if I fail, she gently helps me get back on track). She won’t agree that I failed, just keeps me moving forward. She has transitioned into my life coach by getting to the root of my eating issues. She asked if I was happy and that began a new way of thinking and changing. She is my mentor; she cares about me and wants the best for me. I am so excited to get her call and chat with her about how I’ve been doing and get some questions answered about food options, different exercises and how to handle relationship issues. She has so much knowledge and is happy to share what you are interested in. I never feel rushed when talking to her and she genuinely cares about helping people become their best self!

Dawn has been my Wellness Coach and friend for seven years. We continually work together to build short term goals that lead to long term results and overall good health.
By implementing a lifestyle plan of daily cardio, three to four days a week of weight lifting, and a healthy diet, I was about to win first prize in our company's health challenge.
